Chapter five hundred and first guest

I thought that the least amount of food was also a few refreshing and delicious side dishes, but this is one of the top rich people in the capital!

Yao Yuan looked speechlessly at the bowl in front of him with four or five pieces of pickled fish, and a piece of cold tofu in one bowl with a pinch of salt sprinkled on it; a dish of dozens of fried salt beans, and a dish of dozens of pickled leeks.

Fortunately, Mr. Tang was very unhappy and stared at him with a beard. This made Yao Yuan look more and more expectant. He should be able to add a hot soup dish, right?

Tang Fugui said dissatisfiedly: "This white tofu has to be used for yourself. How can I use it to treat customers?"

But before Yao Yuan got happy, Mr. Tang said again: "Please take some money and go to the incense wax shop to buy some sesame oil to mix."

Yao Yuan only felt that his eyes were dark. It was because he had never seen a frugal family. Such frugality was unheard of. The problem was that this was not over.

The housekeeper agreed to leave, and Tang Fugui instructed again: "Don't let two pieces of straw paper and a few lanterns, don't get it cheaper. You go to the pawnshop to buy it, don't tell grandma, and scold us for spending money again."

Yao Yuan was stunned when he blinked. It would be fine if an ordinary poor family was so calculating. This was the wealthy Tang family of rich man. It turned out that it was the wealth that had accumulated so much money. He immediately admired him and couldn't help but laugh and cry.

The housekeeper picked up the empty bowl prepared for Yao Yuan and left on the table. Seeing this, Tang Fugui said angrily: "The guest is here, you can run away with the bowl. What is the rule? Go and buy some guys."

The housekeeper said in a naive voice: "I bought it with another guy, and half of the oil was dipped out, and I thought it was because I was greedy for half of the money. Isn't it clear that it is just mixed with tofu here?"

"Yes, yes." Tang Fugui thought it made sense. He praised: "That is the way it should be the heart of being a housekeeper. I did not choose the wrong person."

When the housekeeper went, Tang Fugui was probably embarrassed and explained to the stunned Yao Yuan: "Mr. Yao naturally eats big fish and meat every day at Mr. Yang. Oh! To be honest, I only have one piece of salt beans for home-cooked meals every day. I bought a piece of tofu for three or five days to satisfy my cravings. Fortunately, you are here today. Grandma is a human being for me, not only tofu but also pickled fish. She keeps this fish for herself, and I don't even dare to smell it."

What else can Yao Yuan say when he gets to this point? The husband of the bamboo strips is used to flattering and flattering. He opens his mouth and says solemnly: "A truly virtuous grandma, the ancients did not eat both food, and it would be enough to have tofu. Why do you need fish? This is too wasteful. It's not that I said that people who live in the house should be frugal, otherwise it would be difficult to get frugal!"

Tang Fugui slapped his thigh hard and said, "Brothers are intimate words, but we must be a good person to treat customers. My Tang family cannot neglect the distinguished guests."

Yao Yuan praised against his conscience: "The master has the style of an ancient gentleman. The kind hospitality makes it unforgettable for young people to live without any memories."

"It's easy to say!" Tang Fugui also learned from Wu Siwen's shaking his head, "Is it a pity that if you have friends?"

While talking, the housekeeper bought oil and returned. At that moment, Yao Yuan mixed the tofu with a happy life. Each of them ate a bowl of tea to make rice. Yao Yuan was not willing to move those stinky fish. Tang Fugui didn't let him go.

After finishing the meal in a hurry, he looked at the housekeeper for a long time and ordered: "You can eat the remaining tofu. Give this bowl of fish and two paper lantern grass to grandma. I have a lot of fish. I have to explain it clearly."

Yao Yuan sighed in his heart, and did not dare to leave for a cup of tea anymore. He thought to leave quickly, and stood up and said, "The master will come to Yang's house tomorrow morning, and the evening child will wait in front of the door."

Tang Fugui asked, "Will I leave or take a sedan chair tomorrow?"

Yao Yuan said: "Of course, it is natural to behave in a sedan chair."

Tang Fugui said in embarrassment: "If his family did not prepare a sedan chair, wouldn't I have to take the sedan chair? "

Yao Yuan said laughing and crying: "How long has it been said just now? The master forgot?"

"Now my family is always going to make money once." Tang Fugui shook his head with distress, "Forget it, you must be careful in the future. It is a friend's way to help me take advantage of everything. I have to spend two portions of it."

"I know." Yao Yuan was really impatient and turned around and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, Tang Fugui pulled him and asked again: "Do you tell me if I have dinner tomorrow, or will I not go?"

At this point, Yao Yuan felt very powerless and said, "He will naturally entertain food and drinks at home, so he will go hungry."

When he left the door, Yao Yuan looked back at the Tang family in the dark, and murmured to himself: "What's the use of a family with a lot of money? I won't bring it with me if I don't bring it with me if I don't bring it with me if I don't bring it with me if I don't bring it with me if I don't bring it with me if I don't bring it with me if I don't bring it with me if I don't bring it with me if I don't bring

In the early morning, the daughter of the Yangzhou magistrate who was living in Huanggu Temple went to Shuntian Mansion first. The maid Cuihe visited Ru Yong, who was bored in prison again. Xu Hao said that he would be kept in prison for 100 days, and that one day would not be enough.

Since Ru Yong learned that her lover was safe and sound, she immediately did not become impulsive or proud. She only asked Xu Hao to take good care of the lady on his behalf and not send her back to Yangzhou to get married. She would be willing to close her for a year.

Speaking of Ru Yong and Miss Gu's affairs, Xu Hao was a little puzzled. Mrs. Gu is the loyal sister of Bo Ruhua, and the family's family is higher than that of the Gu family. It is obvious that this is a happy event for the relatives to be married, and the children themselves have feelings for each other. Why did the prefect Gu insist on opposing it?

Ru Yong didn't understand his uncle's approach. In his words, his uncle knew that he and his cousin had a deep relationship, but he still betrothed his daughter to his subordinate's son on his way to Suzhou, which made him leave without saying goodbye.

Xu Hao found it difficult to understand. First of all, the official voice of the Ru family is good, and all three sons are good. Although Ru Yong is extremely proud of being the youngest son, he is very brave in both civil and military affairs, and can be called a promising young man.

With questions, it was also out of hospitality. Today, Xu Hao asked his wife to invite the Gu family to visit the Xu family.

The girl Gu's boyfriend's name is Gu Hongyun. When she heard Cui He say that her cousin was safe and had never suffered even the pain of flesh and blood, she smiled just because Governor Xu was impulsive to kill him.

Also accompanying him were Li Su'e and Lizhi. As witnesses, Xu Hao did not want to be rumored to be forced to be a bad reputation for a young lady.

After entering the Xu Family Garden, Mu Ningxue hosted a banquet to entertain the four of them. Later, they were invited to visit the garden as they please.

As soon as the four people came out, they saw the pomegranate flowers blooming very brightly. Under the flowers, there was a girl wearing a goose yellow dress and smiling at Princess Baoqing who had met, saying, "Although this flower is so good, I'm sorry that you feel a little jealous when you see it."

Baoqing asked in confusion: "Where can you tell?"

The girl smiled and said, "It's impossible to see. I once saw Du Mu having a poem saying: 'The red dress is jealous of pomegranate flowers.' My aunt is so beautiful, wouldn't she be called Huaer jealous?"

"Okay! Xianyuan, you are here to make fun of me again, I can't spare you." Bao Qing raised his hand angrily, and Zhu Xianyuan ran forward with a smile.

Looking at their figures away, the four girls looked at each other and smiled, talking and walking forward. Through the flowerbed and ancient trees, they passed the wooden fragrance shed and the peony pavilion, passed the peony garden and the rose courtyard, and circled and twisted all the way to an octagonal pavilion called "Zuihuaxuan".

Most of the colorful glass is used around it, and a picture of a crane hanging on the middle of the pane is hung with small couplets hanging on both sides.

The fragrance enters the curtain and flowers, and the clear light is the moon that depends on people.

Cui He praised: "The Xu family is truly an immortal residence, and today it is an eye-opener."

Li Su'e has been to Xu's mansion many times and introduced: "This garden was originally created by Han Gong, the founding hero. It is called Jinling Second Garden together with the residence of the Xu family of Duke of Wei. There is no more grand and luxurious place in the capital than this. Even the princess mansions of each royal palace are far inferior to that.

After the former Duke of Han was confiscated and exterminated his clan, his original residence was returned to his eldest son's widow, the eldest princess Lin'an. However, because the house was too big, the eldest princess asked to divide the house into two, and gave it to Governor Xu. Later, after the emperor ascended the throne, he officially gave it to the Xu family, the hero of Jingnan. However, the governor recently believed that the grandson of the Li family had grown up and wanted to return the house to others. Perhaps when you enter Beijing again, this place will not be the Xu family."

Cui He said astonishedly: "You want to return such a good house to the Li family? I only know that those who are virtuous live there. It was obvious that the princess agreed, and the emperor issued an order. Governor Xu was really willing to do so."

Li Su'e said: "The governor has difficulties in this matter. The Xu family and the Li family are in line with each other's family. They should return things to the original owner in terms of emotion and reason."

Gu Hongyun has never spoken. She thought that even if she moved, the imperial court would have to spend money on the people's wealth and money to build a new mansion for the Xu family. With the power of Governor Xu now, it is unknown that it is perhaps more than ten times more luxurious than here.

In fact, it is almost the same. Zhu Gaochi really intends to build a mansion for his brothers that is no less than here. Xu Hao did not object to stop the emperor from using his own money to build a house, which is too pretentious.

The nobles should have the position of the nobles. Is it interesting to learn from the civil servants to be honest and honest? Otherwise, why would the heroes such as Xu Da and Li Shanchang accept the mansion with peace of mind? Otherwise, what would you do? If you succeed and fame but don’t enjoy wealth, are you planning to learn from Wang Mang to usurp the throne?

Of course, the issue of property rights must be clearly stated, at least it must be registered as the ancestral property. As long as it is not a real rebellion, the mansion will basically be owned by the children and grandchildren from generation to generation. At least since Zhu Gaochi, it is unlikely that the heroes will be confiscated and exterminated. Xu Hao can see this clearly that most of the descendants of the heroes of Jingnan will accompany the Ming Dynasty until the day of their demise.

After resting for a while, the four of them walked around Bitao Creek and passed through the bamboo fence and flower barrier. They saw the flour wall in front of them and the green willows hanging around. When they entered, they were all connected by corridors. The yard was dotted with several strange stones. There were bananas planted on one side and iron-stemmed crabapple on the other side, and the title was "Begonia Fragrance House", which seemed to be newly written.

Cui He said: "The word 'incense' does not seem to be meaningful."

Gu Hongyun explained: "This is also a matter of particularity. "Begonia wishes they could not smell fragrant." This is a famous saying, "Begonia originally has no fragrance, but because the owner loves her beautiful posture, he put the word "fragrance", which also means pity."

Lizhi had never read any books and said, "Sister is so knowledgeable."

Gu Hongyun held her hand and smiled and said, "I dare not take it. Today, I saw inscriptions and poems written everywhere. The Xu family is a talented person in the family. I feel ashamed."

A few little girls were playing in the corridor. The four of them knew that there were people living here, so they quickly left the yard. In a pavilion not far away, they were cleaned up very differently than elsewhere. The furnishings in the middle were all in the style of plum blossoms. There were dozens of plum trees outside the pavilion. Unfortunately, the time had not arrived and it did not bloom.

When I walked out and walked over the rockery, there was a lotus pond. There were many fish with thin white scales in the pond. There was a loft in the center of the water. There was a circle of railings made of vermilion painted outside. There was a small bridge to pass through. The plaque read "Fish-watching Small Building".

Walking deep into the flowers and trees, clouds were inserted on both sides of the attic, the four of them climbed up the tower and looked down at the entire garden. In the distance was a large bamboo forest, with green leaves swaying slowly in the wind. A yard built with bamboo appeared and disappeared in the depths of the bamboo sea, Gu Hongyun praised it very much.

I walked down the path and walked around the path. There was a deep stone cave in front. The four of them walked in carefully. Soon, the three-meter-high waterfall poured down, splashing thousands of water.

The antique pavilion is located on the top of a stone cave, called the "Moon Worshiping Pavilion", and comes along the iron chain bridge with a vermilion railing exposed in the willow shade.

As he walked, Chongge ahead was towering and towering, Cuihe said in surprise: "Where is this?"

Li Su'e has the ability to remember everything she has, and said, "This is the Shuangxuezhai of the fourth girl of the Xu family. Now it has been renamed Tingtao Tower, and the pavilion is called Jiange."

The four of them continued to move forward again, with hand-blocking railings on both sides, and the veranda was winding and twists and turns. After walking for a while, they saw three Qingxia rooms. The towering ancient trees around them became more and more elegant, and there was a green thatched cottage next to them.
